NEW HAVEN VICTORIOUS.
The Mer1dens Defeated i to by the
 Elm City Team.

Elm City Team.
 The rink was filled to it's utmost capacity last night at the game between Meriden and New Haven. The betting before the game was in favor of Meriden, but on account of the notoriety of this team the bets were few. The teams took their places on the floor shortly after o'clock with Clifford Perkins as referee. The shrill whistle of the referee sent the men after the ball, which was cap tured by Dean of Meriden. Both teams worked hard, but the passing of Connors and Dunning was too much for the visitors and the ball was gradually worked toward Meridens' goal The ball remained about Meridens' quarters for some time, but Con- nors secured it and by good drive caged it., The shout that went up was deafening and it was some time before the referee could an- nounce the time as 3 minute and 38 seconds. New Haven now encouraged by their success and the loud applause worked like demons. Dunning and Connors as rushers were doing fine work, their passing being the best ever seen at this rink. Hill at center played a good game and blocked well. Hal lett came in for most of the applause and he well deserved all that was given for he play ed an excellent game. At goal Reed was watching closely and allowed nothing to enter. The home team secured three more goals in quick succession. Meriden worked hard and played good game of polo in the fifth round and Dean succeeded in caging the ball. The first inning closed with New Haven four goals to their opponents one. But one goal was made in the second inning and that by New Haven. Each team had 8 goal taken from them by reason of three fouls, leaving the score to o in favor of New Haven. The summary of the game is as follows:

Adams Express Company Does the
 Largest Business tn Years The Re-
 duction of Fare.
 Travel on the Consolidated road yesterday was very heavy. It seemed as though most everybody had waited for the reduction in fare of from 211s to cents mile. There were so many to get aboard at nearly every station that most of the passenger trains were late. For some time back, so the old employees around the depot say, the holiday season has not been so busy as during the present one. Times are growing better evidently.
 General Barton, agent for Adams Express company, told COURIER reporter yesterday that the business of that company had dur ing this holiday season been the heaviest he knew of. Their employees had been greatly rushed with work. The rush, however, had now somewhat subsided.
 MT. Gray, at Peck & Bishops parcel and delivery stand in the Union depot, claimed that the business he had done surpassed any thing he had ever done there before.
 Ticket Agent States said that the compu- tation of the tickets sold had not yet been made, and therefore no exact comparison with other holiday seasons could be made. He thought there had been an unusual amount of travelling this season, however.
